Scotland!

By: Brendon
We didn't get to do Scotland as well as we'd have liked but we did have a great time. We spent a night in Glasgow before heading to Edinburgh. In Edinburgh we only had a day to do everything so we decided to do the biggest tourist attraction...Edinburgh Castle. We also just walked around the city enjoying the sights.
The next day we were getting on a 3 day tour of the Highlands. The tour was really great and we had some good weather. The first day was a great rainy day but the other 2 days were pretty good. The scenery here is amazing and here are some pics. Sorry for being so short but we are just looking forward to coming home and it's only a week until we're back.

Monument to William Wallace.


Doune Castle.

Hamesh the Hairy Coo.
Glencoe...Valley of Tears. Where the MacDonald Clan was masacred by the Campbell Clan.

Loch Garry...supposedly in the shape of Scotland.

Eilean Donan Castle.

Haggis...traditional Scottish dish. We tried some the first night of our tour.

Green hill by the ocean.

Ruined Castle on Loch Ness. I did see Nessy...just wait for the pic!!!

France

Loved it! We spent 2 days in Dijon and 5 days in Paris. We have been really busy doing all the sight seeing around the city. There are still tons of tourists here, I can`t imagine the summer in paris. We had great weather, lots of sun and blue skies. This made for some good pictures. See you in 11 days!!
For those who will be in the Toronto area we are thinking of getting together on Sat. Oct. 21st.
Tommorow we are off to Scotland...hopefully the sunny skies continue!

Notre Dame de Paris.

Palais Royale Louvre.
Arc de Triomphe.
Not sure what this one is called.
Basillica de Sacre Coeur.
Trying Escargots....Bren says they are not so bad.
